Is this a bug? It's making me nuts. If I resize the browser using the "restore down" button (middle one of the top right buttons in IE) and then maximize the window again.. the page menu disappears. refresh the page and it reappears. this does not happen in Firefox, only IE. I've been picking away at this for hours and nothing seems to fix it. Here's the client's test site : http://www.unityhamilton.com/unity2010/ .. I'd be grateful for any thoughts, I'm tearing my hair out here. (site is made in Atahualpa 3.5.3 WP 3.0.1)

Are all the bug fixes in?
Have you tried deactivating any plugins?
I hate inconsistent problems. I wish it either showed or didn't

Would you export your setting file and attach to a reply. I want to try uploading to my test site to see if I get the same results.

Well it doesn't happen if you use %pages instead of %page-center. That is of course not an answer but a clue as we have had other issues with %page-center.

Gotta hit the sack... Long day tomorrow.

thank-you for seeing that lmilesw.. i've put the menu back to the left-align for now. if anyone comes up with a fix down the road, please do let me know. meanwhile, i suppose i could pad from the left or some such nonsense

has anyone figured out what is causing this yet? i have a site i'm working on now which really must have a centered page menu, but it the entire menu does the disappearing trick when i resize the browser window and then maximize it again.

Yup Juggledad, thats it. I ended up fixing navigation issues in ThemeFrame by replacing that line (thanks to Larry) with:

Quote:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8" />

so if removing the IE7 reference doesnt work, try replacing it with the IE8 reference, it might help.

I replaced that line in all page template php files in the website theme.
Edit - that was for ThemeFrame, so with ATA theme, just the header.php would do it I guess.

Actually just removing the IE7 line will probably work. Someone had mentioned the IE8 line so I was testing adding that at the same time and replacing the IE7 with the IE8 worked but just removing the IE7 worked the same. So adding the IE8 line was unnecessary as far as I can tell..
